The bakery items here are divine. Today, my friends and I sampled the raspberry/pistachio bombolini, the pastel de nata, and the Basque cheesecake. All 3 were not too sweet and provided the sugar we needed after a long, hot run. My favorite was the item I ordered, the Basque cheesecake. It was not too sweet and hit the spot for some protein. I liked that the bottom crust wasn't too sweet either but provided a nice texture contrast to the cheesecake. I am so happy I was introduced to Paul and Jack through Yelp Elite and was able to come back. read more

Delicious! Easy parking. On a rainy Tuesday morning, I ordered a chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat) and an iced brown butter cookie latte. Both were delicious. I would definitely return. read more

I'm pretty sure this place landed on my radar after an IG post of their bomboloni. First off, there's a parking lot next to the building so very convenient to go, especially since I had my 8 month old with me. The interior is so cute, with indoor and outdoor seating, complete with a kids area inside. Even though I went around 2pm, the case was pretty full with scrumptious looking pastries. Everything looked so good, it was so hard to not want it all. I'm all for a filled doughnut so I got a Boston cream, blueberry/lemon and strawberry/vanilla. Thankfully, they do not skimp on the filling, and it's sooo good. I loved every flavor! The blueberry even had real blueberries inside which was a pleasant surprise. Their coffee is good, too. I took my order to-go. With my son in one arm and my bag and coffee in the other, the guy that rang me up ran around the counter to help me out. That really stood out to me and honestly put them at a 5-Star in my eyes. It was such a kind and unexpected gesture. I'm already thinking about my next trip and what I'll try. read more

Full disclosure, my husband brought these home! He said the open kitchen was a nice keeper from Layered, and it was bustling! There were also more items, but I loved the three he brought: he said they were very well stocked! Now the food: (which I experienced first hand!) The strawberry vanilla croissant. The filling level is on the line of 'this is too much' and 'this is the best thing ever' and stays on the better side! The croissant is a FANTASTIC one, and the jam was super full flavored. The pastry cream was no where near too sweet, and that made it a perfectly balanced bite. Pistachio raspberry bomboloni was STRONG AND ASSERTIVE and so delightful. Pistachio was solidly flavorful and again the fruit: raspberry was sweet tart delicious. Dubai chocolate cheesecake: one complaint-a mess to eat. The pistachio fried esk layer was impossible to cut through without flattening the cheesecake which was so good but so very mousse like. We just took it off and cut a piece when we ate a piece of cheesecake and it was so so good. I don't care how messy I am at home, would be hard to eat there. Absolutely worth the ride the trip whatever from Greensboro. read more

Flaky buttery croissants and flavorful stuffed bomboloni! I need to visit earlier in the day to try some of their other options. I arrived around 12 pm and there were still adequate options. However, based on the other review photos, there are many more options earlier in the day. I chose a butter croissant ($5), pain au chocolat ($5), and strawberry vanilla bomboloni ($4). The croissants had the perfect flaky texture and rich, buttery flavor. The pain au chocolat just needed a little more chocolate. The bomboloni had a good texture and was full of berry vanilla filling (mainly vanilla). It actually had more filling than i preferred. We were unimpressed by the drinks, but we would return for the pastries. read more

Right away when you walk in you're able to see the staff working in kitchen. I think it's a great touch and you can see the love they put into all of the amazing baked goods. I got the cinnamon bun with icing, the croissant and the Biscoff cookie. The croissant was still perfectly warm when I got home, buttery and flaky. Next time I'm getting the mozzarella stuffed one. The cinnamon roll was also perfect, soft and just the right amount of gooey in the center. But hands down the Biscoff cookie was the best! They put a good scoop in the middle and you get a great cookie butter pull!! read more

Great little bakery serving European style pastries and specialty beverages. We came to order items to go but did note that there was some seating inside and out. The decor is simple and modern. Everything we ordered was well made and flavorful. You could definitely tell that they use quality ingredients which is appropriately reflected in the process. Service was attentive and accommodating. read more

I just moved here from the pacific northwest and have been looking for a good bakery, similar to the ones I am used to. When I walked into the Paul and Jack Cary location, I smiled because it finally felt like home. I miss the cinnamon rolls from the west coast and couldn't wait to try theirs without the icing! It didn't disappoint! Moist, not too sweet and tasty!!! There is a good variety of pastries beyond the typical cookies and cakes found in this area :-) The only drawback is that their prices are much much higher than what I am used to, but I will be back in the future for a treat! read more

I really liked the pistachio and raspberry croissant, it was very stuffed and flaky. The coffee wasn't my favorite, my latte was a little more bitter than I would have liked, but the location was very cute and there was plenty of space to sit and work. read more

My partner LOVES their cheesecake. The Instagram page got me so excited to try the tiramisu, but their tiramisu had a chocolate shell instead of the powder. Not a fan, I'd love to see the cocoa powder come back. read more

This is such a cute location and cute bakery! While being in town to visit friends, we stopped here on our way to run errands. The display case is full of sweet treats to try. I ended up getting the spinach croissant and a coffee, my friends also got coffee and pastries. I wish I had room to try the baklava cheesecake. I will make sure to come back and visit so I can try! read more

We ordered a raspberry cheesecake and it was delicious. Found this place on social media and it didn't disappoint. They had a bit of a line but it moved quickly. The selection was extensive. We will be back to try the croissants filled with berries and vanilla cream. read more

Came back here to try the new bakery. We ordered a pastel de nata, croissant, guava pastry, and this cheesy bread thing. We got some lattes. I was like a kid in a candy store: so many choices!! Every thing looked beautiful, moist, authentic. As i was sipping my iced latte i heard the sounds of 40s tunes while taking a bite of that guava pastry....ah :) what a delicious moment. Great place to come and devour pastries!! read more

yummy and with lots of flavors for coffee so it makes it fun to choose! the bakery has so many choices and the cinnamon bun was delicious and soft! it was a bit overpriced but you're paying for the experience/atmosphere so keep that in mind! it is smaller inside with a few tables and chairs. they also had some cute barista related kids toys which my daughters got to play with! read more

Desserts are amazing. We've gotten a bunch of different kinds of cheesecakes. Cannoli's are great too.

Very nice and comfortable environment. The workers were really nice and let us have as much time as we needed to order. Great Creme Brûlée's and really crispy croissants. Everything was really really tasty. Will definitely go again in the future. read more

Love this bakery! I frequent the Raleigh location and love the freshness of the of gourmet desserts and pastries. There's indoor and outdoor seating for folks visiting. It has a true cafe vibe. So far I've visited for coffee and pastries with my favorite so far being the cannoli. The coffee is always fresh with a bit of creaminess if you opt for a latte or another beverage with dairy. The cannoli is pretty signature with one end filled with dark chocolate chips and the other with crushed pistachios, and then the inside is layered with dark chocolate chips. Surprisingly, the cream is not overly sweet at all so you can truly enjoy this treat without experiencing a sugar rush. The service is always helpful and attentive. The staff are ready to answer any questions to help you decide on your treats. Parking can be a pain during peak times but you can typically find a spot in the lot or on the street. Def a gem in the Raleigh area! read more

The customer service was wonderful, they were busy at the time when I was there, yet they took the time to help me.

Best croissant I have ever had! I have tried multiple items from here and everything has been wonderful! Small restaurant but I've always just taken it to go! read more

Such amazing collection of artisanal desserts in a beautiful display case. We went in intending to purchase three things to sample at home and had a difficult time narrowing the options down. Finally had to ask what their most popular items are because it all looked so good. We landed on the baklava cheesecake, dulce de leche bombolina and a Oreo Brookie. All were to die for. Cute setting with coffee drinks and a few tables inside. Free street parking. Hope they add some tables outside! read more

Wow! Wow! And Wow! I've seen this place all over SM and finally got a chance to try it. It was AMAZING! SM got it right! First the service- DIVINE. Sergei educated me on all the favorites and told me how they were made. He was so kind. The place is small but there are a few tables for eating in. Now for the great part - THE PASTRIES are everything you'd hope a dessert would be - decadent, delicious, fresh and flavorful. I ordered a plain croissant, a croissant with chocolate ganache, a pistacho and raspberry bombalini, and a creme brulee bombalini (GET THIS ONE NOW). Seriously. The dough was light and airy and the fillings were light, creamy and not too sweet. You can absolutely tell everything is homemade and made with care. In the back you can see the staff making the pastries from scratch! I know one for sure I will be back to sample them all!! . Gym membership loading as well. Get the creme brulee!!! I also had a brown cookie butter iced latte. It was good as well. So what are you waiting for? Get over there and save some for me. read more

The desserts are delicious. The service needs some getting used to. So be prepared for what you want to order. The location in Raleigh and Wake Forest are nice, but I would suggest the Raleigh location if you want to sit inside, this atmosphere is better. read more

This has became my favorite bakery in Raleigh. When I first went, I tried the cheese croissant that was flaky and delicious. I returned with a friend and we split a few of their specialty croissants I can't remember what flavor but it was one of the fruity ones and it was also tasty and we also had the bisque cheesecake that was pretty good. On my visit today I had the last Hachapuri with egg. It was my first time trying it since they didn't have the cheese croissant available. I figured this would be a good alternative and I was absolutely right! Staff is pretty friendly and nice and pretty fast when it gets busy. I've also tried their iced coffee and it was OK. It's small in the inside but enough for you to grab a table with a few friends or family members. There's also a bit of outside seating but I'm unclear if that is for the restaurant next-door. I love coming in here with a good book. It always smells fantastic. I highly recommend. read more

Went here to get a change of scenery while working remote. I tried the tiramisu iced coffee and it was delicious!

Wow. As if we were back in France. Even the aroma upon entry brings back that core memory. The pastries are authentic and are filled to perfection. I had the pistachio croissant with raspberry filling. My wife had the chocolate ganache croissant. Heavenly. Perfect café Americanos as well. We were weak and brought home more pastries for later. Not having self-control can be a virtue. read more

Almost all their menu is good not great. the only thing I've had that I disliked is the cream cheese cinnamon roll. The real standouts however are the mocha lattes, (i drank a coffee drink every few years until I discovered paul and jacks lattes and now I am completely obsessed and have drank more coffee in the past year than maybe the rest of my life combined) the dulce de leche bombolini, pastel de nata (potrugese custard donut), and the pistachio and raspberry croissant (with like a pistachio cream sauce) read more

The creme brulee pasty was delish! Our favorites were the bluberry lemon & strawberry cream filled

Such delicious desserts. The German chocolate cake was very moist and had great flavor but my absolute favorite was the meringue roll, it was so light and airy with not too sweet filling. Please keep them always in stock because I have to come back for another meringue roll. read more
